Left shoulder palace, Ruike Garden.

Meng Shangjun and Meng Shangxiao brothers listened to Uncle Ji on the way back, Uncle Ji and his son were ordered by the princess on the left shoulder to go to the Liangzhou military camp to pick up the two, their brothers had tattoos on their foreheads, tattooed with the words "hair and distribution to fill the army", and they had to meet nobles, and the medical officer of the medical officer was ordered to help remove the tattoos, and the original tattoo appeared whiter than other places.

Meng Shangjun combed his hair to cover the white scar on his forehead.

Meng Shangxiao simply exposed, it was not a scar, but he wanted to prove to the world that he was no longer a sinner, and he was no longer a sinner who was assigned to serve in the army. Before leaving Liangzhou and returning to their homeland, the brothers couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, thinking about this change. Yesterday, I heard that my sister who had been absent for more than 20 years was coming, so the two brothers got up early in the morning, washed and freshened, and sat in the house and waited.

The girls in the house brought morning food early and let them eat it with a smile.

Meng Shangxiao is in his thirties, and he has seen some women in the Liangzhou military camp, either cooks or camp prostitutes, and their brothers can't touch camp prostitutes, because they are the guilty ministers, and they are also guilty of this person, camp prostitutes can only be touched by officials above the commander of ten masters, and the beautiful young ones can only be touched by centurions or above. At this moment, when I saw the two girls who came to deliver food, all of them were like flowers, and their faces turned red all of a sudden.

Meng Shangjun just didn't see it, his eyes looked at the courtyard gate, "Didn't my sister say that she was coming?" Why hasn't it come yet? ”

"Brother, wait, my sister has to dress up."

The girl filled two bowls, and Zhilu said: "Two masters, please use it!" ”

Meng Shangxiao became more and more unable to speak. I have never seen such a young and good-looking woman. Stammered, "Thank you...... Thank you ......"

Meng Shangjun glared. Disapprovingly, he picked up the porridge bowl, took a big sip, grabbed the bun, and went half of it in one bite, and ate a bun in three bites, which made the girls stunned, "When we were in the barracks, this is how we ate." "Isn't that strange? If he eats slowly, the rice and steamed buns will be snatched up, which he has practiced since he was a child.

This bun is really delicious, the meat filling inside is very sufficient, it is a fresh pork filling, he can only eat such a meat stuffed bun during the New Year's Festival, although it is also meat, but it is not fragrant.

Meng Shangxiao praised: "It's so fragrant!" A plate of twelve buns was eaten by the brothers, and half of the gruel in the bowl was gone.

"The two masters use it slowly, if it is not enough. The slave and maid went to the big kitchen to get it. The two of you are distinguished guests in the palace, and the prince and the princess have told you. Let the slaves and maidservants serve well. ”

After eating the morning meal, Shang Xiao held his stomach and burped.

At the moment of the hour, Meng Shi entered from the side hall of the palace by carriage and arrived at Ruike Garden under the guidance of his subordinates.

Standing at the door of the flower hall of Ruike Garden, Meng Shi only felt that his legs were so heavy that he couldn't lift up, looking at Shang Jun, who was somewhat similar to his father, according to the charm of his mother, Shang Xiao on one side called "sister" and couldn't stop the tears from rolling down.

Meng Shangjun is burly, with an off-white scarf wrapped around his head, dressed in a green cloth dress, wearing a pair of spring and autumn shoes under his feet, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wheat-colored complexion, slightly red cheeks, heavy complexion, flashing eyes, standing with his hands down, quite uneasy, not knowing how to deal with it.

Meng's eyes wandered, looking at Meng Shangjun, and then at Meng Shangxiao: a blue cloth scarf was also wrapped around his head, there was no headdress on the side, and the head didn't seem to have been combed, but simply pulled up. is slightly half a head shorter than Meng Shangjun, but he is also born upright, but he lacks Meng Shangjun's three-point beauty, and he is more like ordinary people when he walks in the crowd, and once he disappears, it is difficult to find a trace in the sea of people.

Both brothers wore relatively thin clothes, and through the sleeves, Meng could see the old winter jacket with the cuffs torn.

Meng asked, "Are you the fifth brother Shangxiao?" ”

Shang Xiao replied in a low voice, crying even more sadly.

For many years, they never imagined that they would one day return to their homeland and reunite with their loved ones.

The three sisters and brothers cried together, talking about parting, Meng can still remember that when they separated, Shang Jun was young, and Shang Xiao was not big, they were the second son and the eldest son of the family, and the age difference was not big, at the beginning of the year, at the end of the year, it was good to have a small relationship.

Su Yeon practiced calligraphy in the small study, still dipping water on the wooden board and repeating it over and over again.

Bai Ying said: "Mrs. Meng has entered Ruike Garden, and she is catching up with the two masters of the Meng family." ”

Su Yan said: "Pass the word and leave Mrs. Meng in the mansion for a few days." ”

Meng stayed in Ruike Garden, and lived for three days, and the two sisters and brothers told each other about their lives over the years, because they were blood relatives, but they were also close.

Meng Shi led their brothers to the imperial city to walk around, bought a few new winter jackets for the two brothers, bought a few decent clothes, and left some silver for each of them.

Now, Meng Shi realized how poor he was, and he wanted to save more earlier, and gave it to his two younger brothers who had suffered a lot.

On the sixteenth day of the winter month, the Meng family brought the Meng brothers to see Su Yan.

So-yeon met them at the Flower Hall.

Meng lowered his head and smiled, there is nothing more comforting than the reunion of sisters and brothers.

Meng Shangxiao blushed when he saw a woman, and he was even more speechless.

Meng Shangjun seemed much more generous and decent: "I heard that this time, thanks to the help of the prince and princess, our brothers were able to return to their homeland from Liangzhou. The princess is above, please be worshiped by the grass people! ”

Su Yan stretched out her hand to help, "In my place, I am exempt from many rules." You are the younger brother of the third sister-in-law, and you can be regarded as relatives, so don't be polite! ”

Bai Ying didn't stop, and as soon as his sleeves met Meng Shangxiao, Meng Shangxiao's whole person stiffened like a city wall, unable to move.

Meng Shangjun said: "This gift, the princess must accept it!" After kowtowing a few times, Fang pulled Meng Shangxiao up, Meng Shangjun glared at Meng Shangxiao quite sternly because he was his brother: Give me a little breath, don't look like you don't fight when you see a woman.

Su Yan made a gesture, Bai Ying folded into the inner room, took a purse out, Su Yan said: "The third sister-in-law's life is not easy, I said earlier that I will set up a backup family business for their brothers, this is the title deed of Xiaowan Village in Sili in the south of the city, with 130 acres of fertile land. There were six tenants in the village, and a two-entry house was built. There are two courtyards and a family ancestral hall in the courtyard. Enough for their brothers to start a family and live. ”

Meng muttered "Xiaowanzhuang ......", which seemed to be very familiar.

Bai Zhi smiled slightly. Meng Shangxiao lowered his head, and suddenly saw Bai Zhi smiling at him, and his face turned red again. "When the princess placed this grange, she made a special inquiry, and heard that thirty years ago, it was originally the Meng family's grange, and the big village of five or six hundred acres changed hands several times. The small village, which was only 130 acres when it was bought, is now planted by six tenant households. After turning over the spring, if the two masters want to take it back, it will also make ......"

Meng Shangxiao couldn't say a word, but when he heard that he had prepared more than 100 acres of Zhuangzi, it was not a small family, and he didn't have to worry about being hungry, not having enough to eat, and not wearing warm clothes, so he immediately said in a loud voice: "Okay!" I had to plant this field by myself, and when I was in the northwest, my brother and I learned to farm, and we knew it! Yes......" looked at So-yeon and said "Yes". looked at Meng Shi again and said "yes" again, as if to prove that he was not a useless person.

Meng Shangxiao was quite excited. "I heard that one hundred and thirty acres of land is much higher than the yield of the fields in the northwest, one acre is two acres, as long as it is hard, the granary will be full of grain all year round, and we two brothers will not be allowed to eat for many years."

Meng's heart was sour, recalling that the Meng family was also a big family back then, but he didn't expect his younger brother to become like this, "When you go back to the imperial city, you have to marry a good daughter-in-law to live, and you will have children and grandchildren in the future......"

Meng Shangxiao's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said, "Sister, what are you talking about?" I'm like this, which girl can look down on it. ”

Meng sighed lightly, "I heard that you are coming back, I have been paying attention to it early in the morning. There is a Xiucai surnamed Gu in the mountain village behind Tianlong Temple, his wife died early, and he only lives with his daughter. Relying on Xiucai to teach in a private school for a living, I have seen that girl a few times, because of her mother's death earlier, the time was delayed, and now there are nineteen, and there is no one yet. I think it's right for you? ”

Meng Shangxiao's eyes widened, she was Xiucai's daughter, and she could be regarded as having an identity, "Sister, can people look down on me?" ”

Meng originally wanted to say it to Meng Shangjun.

Meng Shangjun didn't speak, holding a teacup in his hand, and his demeanor was decent.

He was also excited, but he refused to make mistakes, for fear that people would look down on him.

Meng asked, "Shang Jun, what are your plans?" ”

Meng Shangjun said: "Shang Xiao was timid when he was a child, he wanted to go back to the countryside to farm and live early in the morning. I ......," he paused, "I want to find an errand in the city, and there is no one next to me, who can read and write, and who can do some kung fu, and go to a big family to be a nurse." ”

Su Yan's heart sank: after her death in her previous life, did the nephews who were demoted to official slaves be like the Meng brothers, just to be able to eat enough, just to be able to support themselves, and the others didn't dare to hope for it.

Yu Wenli's life is really like Meng's. Meng's wish, he must know. I am afraid that after Yu Wenli ascends the throne, one day when he remembers the Meng family, it is inevitable that he will not think of the two younger brothers of the Meng family, and he will definitely be forgiven.

Meng Shangxiao said: "Brother, go back to the countryside with me to farm, one hundred and thirty acres, enough for us to work." ”

Meng Shangjun glared, with reproach in his eyes.

He said that he wanted to be a nurse, but he inquired clearly early in the morning, the prince on his left shoulder was a commander in Jinwuwei, as long as the prince was willing to help, it would be good for him to go to the palace as a guard.

The ancestors of the Meng family are from a family of eunuchs, and they are also decent people in the imperial city, since he has the opportunity, he has to do something big.

Meng said: "You are older than Shang Xiao, and you are not young, you should start a family." ”

"Let Shang Xiao marry first, and with a family business, it is not difficult to marry a girl from an innocent and decent family. As for my ......" he has been pondering this matter for the past few days, although he is in his thirties, as long as he works hard, everything is still in time, "With Shangxiao continuing the Meng family's incense, we are not ashamed of our fathers and ancestors." ”

Meng Shangxiao hurriedly said: "Brother, that's the young lady of the Xiucai family, how good!" It must be knowledgeable, this must be in the northwest, let alone marrying a wife, we can't think of such a girl, it's very good! This is what my sister fell in love with a long time ago, and the age is right......"

"You like you to marry, don't pull me!"

Meng Shangxiao muttered in a low voice: "What about Miss Xiucai......"

Su Yan said: "Who is the land deed and house deed of Xiaowan Village for?" ”

Meng's family is biased towards Shang Jun, who was born to the same mother, but she can see that Shang Jun is a self-motivated person, and she is unwilling to bury herself in the countryside like this. (To be continued......)
